Monday, April 6th, 2015--- DAILY GOSHO ---"Today there are people who have faith in the Lotus Sutra. The belief of some is like fire while that of others is like water. When the former listen to the teachings, their passion flares up like fire, but as time goes on, they tend to discard their faith. To have faith like water means to believe continuously without ever regressing."

Tuesday, April 7th, 2015—— DAILY ENCOURAGEMENT ----"I have a delightful memory of meeting President Gorbachev on an occasion (in November 1997), at the Kansai Soka Junior and Senior High Schools, together with his wife, Raisa. The students at the Kansai Soka schools treasure the words of Mrs. Gorbachev, who strove alongside her husband on a challenging path: 'We receive many different wounds in life, and some of them don't heal. We cannot realise all our dreams. But there is always something we can accomplish. We will always have a dream we can fulfil. Those who can get up and keep going each time they stumble always win in the end.'[1]

"You will have achieved victory in the drama of your life if, no matter what happens along the way, you can leave behind something you can be proud of. True victors are those who never give up, who remain positive and cheerful, sincerely believe in their mission, and fight on to the very end."
